It has been reported by Local12 news that several students in California have staged a protest after their school removed milk chocolate from the lunch menu.
The protest took place at a Vacaville Kindergarten following the ban of chocolate from the eighth-grade school due its increased sugar content.
The students at Vacaville's Sierra Vista K-8 report that their lunchtime is not the same since the chocolate's removal from their menu. They thus decided to demand the return of the item by organising a protest.
One student said:
"The people who are going to be negotiating with me, I'm probably going to put them on the spot."
The students were seen leaving class to rally out in front of the school's premises, making sure that everyone could listen to their demand.
Another student added:
"That's how we feel about it. We feel really strongly about it and we want to protest and bring it back."
According to KCRA News, the Nutrition Department decided to remove the chocolate item as it contains 'too much sugar'.
However, the students' protest appears to have managed to change the board's decision and the milk chocolate will be included on the pupils' menu every other week.
